I Am Elizabeth Smart Full Movie Fmovies

Elizabeth Smart recaps the time in which she was kidnapped and tells her perspective of it. It starts on June 5, 2002, with the kidnapping of 14-year old Elizabeth Smart (Alana Boden) in the middle of the night by a religious fanatic named Brian David Mitchell (Skeet Ulrich), who unknowingly wakes her sister Mary Katherine (Cassidy Nugent).

Mitchell’s Abusive Actions

In his hilly encampment, Mitchell and his wife Wanda Ileen Barzee (Deirdre Lovejoy) subjected her to bizarre religious rituals. Mitchell rapes, starves, and drugs Elizabeth while claiming that his followers will kill her family if she doesn’t do as he says. Mitchell treats her as his “second wife”.

Harsh Conditions

During one instance in Lakeside, California when Mitchell is absent, Elizabeth and Barzee are left in their desert camp without water for a week, before a freak rain storm occurs and saves their lives. Afterwards, Mitchell returns, bringing food and stating that they need to relocate again. Elizabeth manages to convince her captors that they should move back to Utah.

Freedom and Reunion

Arriving in Sandy, Utah, the three hitch-hike for a while, until Elizabeth angers Mitchell by talking to a stranger. Elizabeth’s narration states that this would be the last time that Brian would rape her. While in a store, Elizabeth notices some missing persons posters on the bulletin board. As Elizabeth is separated from them, Mitchell claims that he is a traveling minister. After some brief hesitation in front of a police officer who questions her on her identity, Elizabeth finally reveals who she is.

Later on, Elizabeth is reunited with her father Ed (George Newbern) and her mother Lois (Anne Openshaw). In Elizabeth’s final narration, she states that she told her story to speak for kidnapping victims, including those who have not been found yet. She concludes by saying, “I am not cracked, I’m not shattered, I am Elizabeth Smart.”

Justice and Moving Forward

A postscript reveals that Brian David Mitchell was sentenced to life in federal prison. Wanda Barzee was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Elizabeth got married and had children, and started the Elizabeth Smart Foundation with her father.
